Chronic Disease Management

Living a healthy lifestyle is about taking care of your personal health and wellness. This involves developing realistic actions to prevent illness, promote self-care and increase healthy behaviours.

• Up-to-date local information on available physicians and emergency wait times.
• A view of the health benefits that support a variety of chronic conditions.
